Gas or diesel, doesn't matter on three acres or even (in my case) 80. I run a Farmall 300 gas and a Farmall cub, and take care of 10 acres of truck garden, 2 acres of orchard and 30 acres of hay ground. The big one takes 2 to 3 gallon per hour plowing the big plots and baling hay or brush hogging. It gets better mowing hay and planting. The cub just seems to make gas lol. Honestly, I seem to fill it up about three times a year. Mowing with a 5' sickle, harrowing and cultivating all seem to take about 1/2 gallon per hour or less. On 3 acres, fuel for a cub or even a 300 would be negligible. 25 gallons would get a man through most of a year doing whatever you wanted to. Its my opinion that live power, live hydraulics, and power steering are much more important than what type of fuel you choose to burn. The perfect rig for a small place would be a 3000 Ford or 300 IH utility. Gas or diesel, who cares. As long as it has the features mentioned above, it'll be just about perfect. Just leave off the N Fords, the H Farmalls, and the B John Deeres. You'll thank me later.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
